I like how my front shoe looks but I’m a little disappointed in how I drew my back one, still a fun one and something I’d like to practice with more in the future

I tried this one many times.. this was the least bad. Or the one I was the least unhappy about. I got a lot of practice though. Stan wasn't kidding when he says the way he is holding the pencil takes time and practice. Those were my worst attempts.

I’ve been playing with line weight the last few days prior to attempting these shoes and watching the demo. My approach was sketching the whole thing lightly with my HB, and THEN work on darkening with the 2B. I’m amazed how proko is just able to go in with a rough shape and do line weight on the fly. I know mine don’t look as good as everyone else’s but definitely learned some things of what I want to emphasize. With Lugia especially I took extra care of his right wing / oversized fingers whatever you call them. Also, forming lines over each other is definitely not easy. I found myself gripping my pencil too much when darkening lines. Oh and my proportions are still not good lol If anyone has any feedback on how I can improve that would definitely be appreciated

I haven't really focused on lines in my art, more colors and rendering so after the sketch I wasn't sure abt this. But after I started adding the bolder lines it really made the drawing. Definitely makes me want to start thinking abt lines more in my pieces.

It’s hard to draw clean lines. I didn’t want to keep erasing and redrawing endlessly, so I just kept going, even when the lines got messy Hopefully, with more practice, I’ll be able to draw cleaner, more confident lines without sacrificing proportions

I am so busy with school work so it’s taking me long time to do a video lesson. But I am trying to do my best. Also it’s kinda frustrating when art isn’t arting the way u want it too.

My attempt at the shoes - not an easy one…

My try at the assignment. I know the lines aren't that crisp and confident but I think I was more into getting the 3D shape and even the correct form that I sort of forgot about bringing out confident lines

I tried following along with the demo, but inking with a brush. Maybe I made it more difficult for myself because I had a hard time controlling the line the way I wanted

Here's some of my projects for the line quality lesson! I really focused on light and shadow.

Tried level 2. I focused on shadowing and depth and form (especially with the background being lighter)

Wanted to do some more practice of everything so far. Found a nice reference, sketched it out, and then did hierarchy of importance line weights using graphite (first time with graphite, interesting but different). Was super fun and worked to emphasize the weight of the shell and try to draw out some areas of high contrast. Really fun.

Did a few random objects, didn't really want to do shoes again lol. Maybe i should have went thicker on the lines? or maybe use a darker pencil. I will try to get some charcoal pencils because Proko's just look so graphic too me. I just noticed I really like drawing boxes XD.

Spent a few days on these line weight exercises, not totally happy with some of the linework especially with the shoes and the proportions were a bit off but definitely think it helped me understand how line hierarchy can emphasize parts of a drawing.

Here’s my go at the shoes. I think they’re pretty good but I wished I’d gone for a little more variety in line weight.

Here is my attempt at 35/185 - Demo Depth and Form line weight. I need work but it was fun! I went for Stan’s shoes. I know this is early in learning these skills and excited to incorporate shapes and shading to enhance the 3D form feel. However, I’m very happy with my progress and will continue on this journey. keep Drawing everyone!

The most challenging part for me was was depth & form, as you can see 😅 I’ll definitely be working more on this, as I really love how my arts has come to life because of it. Before my lineart was flat, and I only used variation on hair or fur. I didn’t think to much about the light source during the lineart stage - i only really added it during the coloring phase. Any critique is welcome! I feel like there’s room for improvement, but I’m a bit stuck on how to take it to the next level

Added Line weight and shadow from dragon in a drawing book.

decided to do the rhino from scratch and play with the line weight. It was good practice to implement all the previous lessons.
